Of course, check out...
www.omega.ch or www.omegawatches.com. I have an older SMAT (39.2mm) with the caliber 2500C movement and it is very consistent, gains about +3 seconds per day but seems to do that whether fully wound or not, any position. So I imagine the newer caliber 8500 movement is even more accurate and precise, depending on how well it has been adjusted. I believe the newer AT comes in 38.5 and 41.5mm sizes, as well as 36mm, but check the Omega website or your local AD. Of course, Rolex, etc., are options to an Omega. Depends on your budget and taste. I recommend a quartz if your daughter is more apt to enjoy a 'hands-off' watch, low to no maintenance except when the battery needs to be replaced. =:^D
Omega Aqua Terra - a few questions
Hi ! I am considering to buy the watch for my daughter who likes 38mm model with white dial. But I have a few questions. Am I correct that SMP is a competitor to Rolex Sub and Aqua terra to Datejust series ? (I used to have TT SMP and my son now has SMP i...
The current Aqua Terra in a 38 mm case is a men's model . . .
. . . with a mechanical movement. A few of our regular forum participants have taken the plunge, and their impressions were wholly positive. I reviewed the annual calendar version last year: omega.watchprosite.com The current ladies quartz version...

Some replies
Hi Gary, "Dr. No" drew my attention to your post as I bought an Omega SM AT last October, partly due to his detailed review of the annual calendar on this site. As "competitors" are concerned, there were some replies made by other forum members. We usuall...
hi Gary, welcome to the forum
the AT will be a great watch for an active 'young adult' and as bigger watches are very popular with women the 38mm would seem to be the perfect choice. i'm assuming she has tried one on in an AD so knows what she wants. as far as what movement to have, t...
Your questions were already answered.
I just want to propose the Constellation as a viable alternative to the ladies Aqua Terra. It is certainly not as sporty but one can wear it to work, dressed up functions and such while the AT is more like for work and casual wear. Ruckdee
Thank you for your suggestion, but my daughter
is a school pupil and is not working yet. She likes skiing, jet-skiing, but considers SMP (which has her older brother) a little too sporty- next she found Aqua terra... So we are looking at this watch. Regards, Gary.
Ahh.. I see. Thank you for the extra bit of background info.
Now I think you are heading in the right direction. Yes, I agree with you now that an Aqua Terra is more fitting, all intended activities considered. May I suggest this recent addition to the Aqua Terra line for ladies? It's a 30 mm quartz I believe. Phot...
